         There are many styles of communication. Communication styles include visual, auditory, ways of writing, languages, the arts, body language, etc. Interpretations are the perfect example of successes and failures within the subject of communication, because ideas and thoughts can be conveyed to others differently. This also connects with the idea of clarity of thoughts. Conveying your personal information to others and allowing them to be a part of your understanding allows for the idea of sharing unbiased information. With so many ideas on communicating provides a wider perspective on the whole concept of communication.

In today's society, our means of communication can be expressed in many ways. Whether its talking, texting, or emailing, one's thoughts, feelings, or even just a simple "Hello" can be shared. Our means of communication have changed radically overtime. We no longer write letters to catch up with our loved ones, we simply call them on our cellphones or even send them a quick post on Facebook. We communicate with verbal communication, but nonverbal as well. Our facial expressions, attitudes, gestures, it all sends and conveys a message to others.
